*airport*

*beautiful Cali, Colombia*


I'm on my way to Greece, during my never-ending airport hopping journey. I left Colombia yesterday morning, very sadly, then flew to Panama, then to DC. This morning I left DC for NY (where I am now) and tomorrow morning I'll be in Athens, Greece. From there I'll take a train to my conference on Saturday! I think after this I won't want to travel for quite awhile. So far there haven't really been any snags in my travel plans other than being taken into screening by the anti-narcotic police in Colombia (who apparently thought I was a drug mule... I was x-rayed and came out clean!). Other than that it's smooth sailing (so far, cross your fingers!)

I had a fabulous time in Colombia. Julian's family is so wonderful and amazing, and they welcomed me with open arms. We got to see a lot, but most importantly I got to meet a LOT of family and some good friends. More pictures will come, probably when I'm supposed to be working on my thesis ;)

Here are a few:


*our first day!*


*with lots of colombian paraphernalia*

*with niece Valeria, nephew Cristian and Donna Raquel*


*with my new primitos*


*giggling with Mamita Lucrecia, Julian's grandma*

*Machita on her birthday*


*fantastic dancers at a salsa festival*


*with the amazing chiquitina dancers*
